Punta Gorda Airport’s (PGD) passengers, staff and local residents can experience a variety of new food options this October with the launch of Food Truck Fall at the airport.
Each upcoming Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday during the month, a different food truck will serve passengers in the short-term parking lot across from the PGD main Bailey Terminal. Among the food that will be available are tacos and burritos, Italian ice, BBQ, grilled cheese and other sandwiches, ice cream and more.
The impetus for Food Truck Fall comes as the numbers of on-airport employees, general aviation traffic and Allegiant Airline passengers have steadily increased in recent years, with many looking for dining options that enhance the restaurants available post-security.
“We’re using October as a pilot period to see how many customers are served, how happy the customers and vendors are, and what improvements we can make going forward,” says Kaley Miller, PGD’s marketing & communications manager. “We’ll also being monitoring the resulting reviews on each Food Truck’s Facebook page.”
